Young Tiger for peace with TDP Supremo?

Whenever Telangana issue crops up, entire Andhra Pradesh burns. Now that the Telangana state is granted, hope peace will return soon. But with or without Telangana, TDP is burning with ongoing feud between Young Tiger NTR, Sr NTR's family and TDP supremo Chandra Babu.

Chandra Babu, true political wizard as he is used NTR's extempore dialogue delivery skills during the last elections and sidelined once the job is accomplished. He later got his son married to Balakrishna and created wedge between NTR family and NTR including Harikrishna.

Many say Young Tiger is behind the rebellion in TDP and he is the one who is making TDP leaders quit the party or interact with opponents. When such is the thing, it seems NTR is looking for peace with TDP supremo.

Buzz is in Ramayya Vastavayya directed by Harish Shankar, he will be seen as a student leader similar to Chandrababu during his student days at SV University. Wonder what's cooking between Young Tiger and Chandra Babu and who is behind this new happenings.
